Exploring an Abandoned Religious School - Beautiful Victorian Architecture 

We have a brand new selection of photo prints and Polaroids for sale on our website! The Polaroids are one of a kind and once they sell, they are gone forever! Check them out at theproperpeople.com/shop. Thanks for the support!

Buildings like this aren’t made anymore and we don’t take care of the ones that remain. It’s almost criminal to see a building this beautiful slowly rotting away. I hope someone is able to save it, inside and out. Thank you so much for documenting this.

I love how respectful you guys are of these old places.

The Proper People intro speaks to my soul.

I love that you use minimal sound/music in your edits. Hearing all the different sounds during an exploration is one of the best parts.

When they cared about how a building looked, not just functioned

For those people asking what school this was, it's St Paul's in New York. It was an Episcopalian school that went belly-up in 1991.

Don't ever change the into soundtrack! It still is amazing

A building this beautiful should definitely be renovated.

You're the only channel where I don't skip the ads. I want to support you however I can. Thanks for another great video!

"Hymn books" are called Hymnals. I went to a parochial school with attached church that was built in the early 1900's. This brought back some serious memories....

That grand staircase section was bonkers! I can only imagine the acoustics in that place.

Dorm rooms in the basement ? With padlocks ? Yeah, nope.

No one ever really talks about this so I will. Can we just appreciate the fact that they don't make everything really creepy for no reason? Some channels will and I saw a video when I was little that was extremely creepy for no reason and I'm still scared to be honest. I'll only really watch this channel now because they don't do it, and they are respectful to the places they go.

This channel helped me out when I was laid out with pneumonia. It gave me a sense of getting out and moving around.

This has pushed me to ask my Priest friend to let me capture the history and currently not abandoned 150+ year old church in my downtown. It’s actually a basilica. It’s got the remnants of a bell tower and I already got some cool photos.

Had a rough day, but nothing a new upload from the proper people can't fix.

To bad the rain will destroy all that beautiful woodwork on the stairs. It is a product of the beg. of the industrial revolution, when machines were first available to make different shapes and textures in wood and other materials. So, builders went nuts w/it. I own a Queen Anne Victorian home from the same era and w/the same type intricate woodwork.

I can't even begin to express how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for talking all of us on another great adventure.

Wow, a male only, military religious school sounds like the dreaming place to study 😗... The gothic appereance of the whole building is amazing tho. Great stuff guys!

7:07 - if you search for "victorian tiled floor" you will get an idea of what the tiled floors looked like when they were new - the reds, light blues and yellows would have been very strong. I didn't know such floors were used in the USA as well. In UK homes of the Victorian era such floors were very common as they were hard wearing. Another great video - amazing staircases!

That place is absolutely gorgeous. All the detail around the doorways and the railing on the staircases, not to mention that chapel.

Sad that these buildings are simply left to collapse. Also, I'm surprised you don't encounter more homeless/squatters.

Been thinking about the next upload. Its finally here!!!

I think they should re-purpose it while keeping it's history. Like that building probably has a ton of mold, and a ton of water damage. Like I think they should salvage as much unique and historical things as possible, like the gothic staircases, light fixtures, paintings, etc., but renovate the building thoroughly, repaint it, clean it, update the electrical, and update it to modern safety standards, while keeping the as much gothic historic and unique stuff as possible.

That chapel almost looks ready for next Sunday's service. Thanks for documenting with your usual respect.

The chapel looked like the only part that didn’t have much graffiti, pillaging, or destruction

I love your content, editing, filming, and just everything about this channel in general. Please continue this amazing content!

I love the quality of your vids. Excellent everything, please keep up the great work guys 👍

How do they not have 1M yet? These dudes put in so much work and editing. They deserve it!

What a beautiful old building. I wish they could save it. Nothing built now can compete with this. Thank you for another awesome video. The lighting is amazing!

The intro soundtrack never gets old.... 😍

I love y'all's content so much, thank you for the many, many, many hours of enjoyment.

The best time to watch these videos is like 1:00 AM when your water heater and refrigerator makes really loud strange noise. Believe me, It can get really scary.

Been anxiously waiting on a new video. Pumped that it's here!

Love how respectful you Guys are to places you explore, thanks for your research of these places. Your documentaries might be the only record of these sites once they are destroyed, a glimpse into the past. Excellent video work too, love how you use the light to reveal the beauty of the old windows and rooms. I could almost imagine a Ghost or something wandering around those Hallways!

I just found you guys about a week ago, this stuff is amazing, and that intro music is top notch! Please keep it up!

Every time I see those high ceilings in Victorian structures it reminds me of why they wore such heavy clothes in the winter: all the heat was ten feet above their heads! The banister and balustrade filigreed iron work was so much better in those days. Thanks for the tour!

I can't express how much I love this video. Just WOW! Thank you for creating great content like this, it's very inspirational!🌹

This came out so good

I really like this channel. You genuinely care. The educational part in the beginning is great.

Hey guys, just wanted to say how awesome your channel is. I watched a couple of videos and I'm hooked. I dig the intro, effects, the introduction you do for each place, and best of all how respectful you are about the places you visit. Great job and keep up

I love your videos and you always make my day by exploring such amazing places

Just watched your abandoned theatre in 2015. You guys have come a long way. From wobbly shoot to tv quality shoot! My only fav urbex channel!

You always seem to capture these buildings in tones of dystopian surrealism.

i just wanna let you guys know that this seriously is my favourite urbex channel ever!. I spend my entire free time collecting urbex data and buidling up a big database. so far i already got around 150 abandoned locations world wide. ive been watching you guys since yesterday and i already watched so many videos! i love them! its like watching an amazing netflix show, where you just keep wanting to see more of. also i wanna leave a special compliment to the intro cause i love it! the music, and the editting is perfect and if there was a button with ''skip intro'' i wouldnt even push it. keep up the amazing work and cheers from the netherlands!

What an amazing, incredible, beautiful building! Love this explore video...great work guys!

As always, you guys have made excellent content. Some of those shots were just amazing. You always capture the loneliness of these places. And your music choice is superb.

Love your video, rock on. Thank you for the awesome exploration. The intro is awesome, btw.

Such a beautiful building with amazing architectural design and detail. Makes me sad to see places like this just left to the elements. Very glad to be able to see these grand old places through your channel though. Thanks.

your videos never dissapoint! i always get exited when i see these videos pop up and have been exited every time for the last 2 years! keep it up guys! :)

as usual, amazing photography. great work , keep it up.

You guys are awesome. I discovered your channel just recently and been binge watching your videos since. Your urbex content is easily the best here on youtube.

So incredibly beautiful! You guys do the BEST explorations! Excellent job!

The way y’all film everything is so beautiful

Great job guys! What an amazing place. Really enjoyed this one!

Bought my first print from you guys!! I want to support you two as much as I can. You guys show me every cool place I wish I could go and I can't thank you enough for being my legs and showing all of us these beautiful places ♡

I love y'alls videos. They are always so informative, entertaining and respectful.

I love your channel. I watched every other video over the course of about a week. No regerts.

12:58 "No Regerts" LOL I REGERT NOTHING

I had to watch your video again, this was truly one of your best!! ❤️❤️

Awesome to see another cool video come out..you guys keep or up with the quality work

You guys are the best urbex channel by far. You make this into an art form. I love your curiosity. Stay safe out there fellas

What an amazing video guys! Thank you ! My one urbex dream is to explore with you guys! I hope one day it happens ❤️

I might do some urban exploration in the future. You guys are a big inspiration to me.

Wow that building best explore ever! You guys are getting better and better with each explore!

Man, I wish I was rich. I'd totally try buying that place, fix it up, and then turn it into a museum or something..

I'm so happy that you explored this building! I pass by it all the time and have always wanted to know what it looks like on the inside.

One of my favourites from you guys. Thought I had watched all of them but I must've missed this one, glad I found it

The details on this building are so beautiful. I hope someone saves it! ❤️

This was awewome! I would love to see an extended version of it. :) I could watch you walking through these old Victorian buildings forever.

those building just become beautiful without humans! is awesome!

Your content is on a whole different level from most abandoned channels on RU-vid. Keep up the great work, guys!

Awesome video as always!!! Love you guys!!!

Amazing building. So much beautiful architecture. Amazing chapel. Keep up the amazing content.

Amazing find guys keep up the great work

So this place has been abandoned since the year I was born. That's pretty wild. Keep up the great work, guys, your content's amazing.

Great video! Wonderful architecture. Thanks for filming.

Much love to you guys proper people I'm watching all the way from Australia! Love your work I've watched all of your videos, you guys are the best!

You guys always find amazing places to explore. This was a very beautiful building, even in its decaying state. I am surprised the building has been left this long by the government to decay, but I guess it is no different than the hospitals and asylums that have fallen into such an end.

One of the most beautiful and intact buildings you've done thus far, I really liked this video... it's a shame when vandals get in and ruin the entire structure, this one seems so much better than most... keep up the awesome work guys, you all do great jobs in these videos!!!

Beautiful, I’ve explored abounded places myself with a crew. Always I get the chills in a huge building with low light

If they are going to continue to allow the building to decay I hope they will call in the "Salvage Dawgs" to save the woodwork and windows.and furniture.

Great video guys! Very interesting stuff! Thank you~!

ive like totally fell in love with you guys ive just binge watched all your videos and im not even mad

O WOW! That is such an incredible find. Thanks for sharing!

I love the respect you guys have for these buildings and their histories. It really sets you apart from most other urban exploration channels.

You guys and BWT are the best in the business. Keep it up!

Again, such amazing exploration !

Another beautiful building and the rain is awesome

another amazing video guys! that staircase was something else !

12:17 transition from showers, hearing those sirens dead ass made me think it was a ghost crying for a split second... 😂

Wow! The main chapel was just incredible. Love the stain glass windows.

I went to this School for 7th and 8th grades in 1981 & 1982. I have been looking for a video like this for years. It's heartbreaking because I have so many great memories there. By the time I went there enrollment was fairly low. All classes were on the first floor. Grades 5-8 had a separate adjoining building which I believe has already been torn down. I believe the town uses the gym which is huge. I wish you guys could have gotten into the older gym with the elevated track. It is to the far left of the building as you look at it. Also when I was there we only had access to a few classrooms in the basement. The area that looked like dorms etc. was locked off. There were also only a handful of boarders at that time so I never really had a reason to go above the Chapel but seeing the state it is in is a total disgrace.

You both are first class all the way.The gold standard of urbex.

As always, thank you for bringing me along.

What a beautiful song track in this video particularly; it compliments the exploration experience further

Well done as usual, gentlemen. As a much older fellow than yourselves, I have always been impressed with the respect shown by you both for these places you explore on our behalf. Unlike most of the others who do what you do, you do your due diligence and are somewhat knowledgeable on these places, their architecture, their significance to their communities. For that you are to be commended, for your work not only entertains, it enlightens and educates - and that, of course, promotes others to develop respect and appreciation in these places as well. I cannot express strongly enough how truly important that is. Again, thanks for the respect and maturity with which you do your exploring. Be safe out there! -Ed on the Ridge

Good video i loved this place and so glad i got to see it and glad you guys did too

Awesome!! People who love old buildings and the history behind them as much as I do.
